Hey guys, I'm back. I don't know what to say for June, other than I fell off the wagon and it rolled over me. I think the 169 on my ticker was a fluke anyway. I only saw that number once, and it was right before I went on a short mini-vaca so really I guess my weight hovering between 174-176 isn't TOO terrible of a backslide. But just wanted to say I'm here again and now that my birthday is over and I'm done with all 53289052309 birthday dinners and cakes I am SO back at it. Tomorrow's Monday and I'll weigh and update the ticker and plan out some goals for hopping back on track in July. Yay...

[To be honest, I'm still not feeling motivated, but I'll snap to it anyway and hope the motivation catches up to me.]

Welcome back! I too am getting back on the wagon, one day down many to go! Good luck you can do it!

Morning weight, 175.6. Actually, not bad after two days in a row of chinese food and birthday cake.

Goals for July (but starting today!) will be:

Resume eating breakfast daily
Resume logging calories and nutrition info on Excel
Resume going to the gym daily (Swim laps 1x/week; Run 3x/week)
Start 30DS on July 1 and allow 1 free day
At least 6 glasses (3 bottles) of water a day

And I have a new guideline for eating. I'm going to TRY to pick my foods based on whether or not they have anything my body actually needs. Protein? Calcium? Fiber? Vitamins? Omega 3s? Something nutritional. I say guideline and not rule because I do splurge on the occasional french fry and chocolate bar as long as it's within my cals for the day, but I caught myself eating sugar free jello at snack time and it's really not filling (well heck, it's only 10 calories! How filling could it be?) but I could have gone for an apple and gotten some vitamins and fiber. Stuff like that. Stuff to think about when I'm making food choices.
